I and that someone there cared about them.”
She stops, tears falling down her face again. “Prince Keenan killed her in my dream. I fought him and he killed her because of it. I watched while they tore her to pieces in front of me.” Her tears have turned into sobs and Cyran is whining, trying to comfort her. I need be able to speak to her, so I make a decision and Cyran agrees.
I shift back while laying on top of her. I immediately move my weight from her, pulling the blanket that’s not covering her over myself then pulling her into my side, wrapping both arms around her.
I hold her while she sobs and I know the instant she realizes that I’ve shifted. Her whole body tenses.
“What are you doing?” She asks.
“Shhh, I just want to be able to talk to you.”
Watching the vampires rip Sarah apart in front of me had been awful. I couldn’t shake the vision of it, the red of Prince Keenan’s eyes as he stared at me. I knew it was a dream, but the sounds, the smell, watching it happen, it was ?overwhelming, and I hope, once again, that Sarah got away.
It takes me some time to come back to my senses, to my current situation. I’m in Liam’s pack, I’m in my room, I’m in the large bed that I’ve been sleeping in, I’m in Liam’s arms.
Wait, what??!! I immediately go rigid. When did he shift back? Why did he shift back?
Liam said he wants to talk. He’s stroking my hair with one hand and his other hand is on my hip, wrapped around me from behind, holding me against him. It doesn’t feel forced, it feels comforting, safe. My hand is on his bare chest, a chest that is very muscular. Rather than feel the repulsion that I used to feel with the prince, I want to run my hand over his muscles. I want to see if his body will shiver at my touch that way that Cyran’s does when I’m running my fingers through his fur.
“What do you want to talk about?”
“I don’t want to upset you more, so if you don’t want to talk about it, just tell me. But, I want to know about the other girl you mentioned.” and
I tell him about Sarah, about how we created our own little support group and how she told me to run when the hunters came. He’s quiet while I’m talking doesn’t say anything when I’m done. I look up at him. He’s looking at the ceiling, a thoughtful look on his face.
“What is it?” I ask him.
He looks down at me and back up at the ceiling before answering. “When we found out about the bounty on your head, there was a bounty on another girl too. At the time, I was concerned about you, so I didn’t think much of it, but now I’m wondering if it’s this girl, Sarah.”
I sit up and prop myself on my elbow so I can look at his face more clearly. “It had to be her. We were the only two that survived more than a day or two. There wouldn’t be anyone else that they cared about.” The tears start to well up again. Do…do you think they found her?”
He looks at me, cupping my cheek in his hand and wiping the tears from my cheeks. “I don’t know. Do you know anything at all about her? Where she’s from? Where she was going?” I’m shaking my head before he finishes asking.
“I thought she would be safe with the hunters. I was more worried about me and what they would do if they found out about me. I didn’t even think about her. I should have thought about her.” I’m getting myself worked up again. Why didn’t it occur to me that she would be in as much danger as I am?
“Shhhh. Hey, look at me. Tell me everything you know about her. What she looks like, her height, anything at all that may help me to find her, and I’ll put out feelers for her. I can also check to see if the bounty is still active. If it is, it means they haven’t found her yet and we may be able to get to her first.”
I look at him. “You would do that? For a human? A stranger?”
The look in his eyes is so intense, it’s almost painful. “I would do it because she needs help and it’s my job as an Alpha to help those that can’t help themselves. But she helped you, helped you when no one else did. Helped you escape and kept your secret. That alone is reason for me to help her.”
I reach down and cup his face in my hand. “Thank you.”
“Don’t thank me yet. You haven’t given me much to go on, but I’ll do what I can.”
I lay my head back down on his chest. He’s so warm and the scent of the forest surrounds him, it lulls me back to sleep.
I wake to the sun shining in my room and something pressing against my stomach. I feel warm and well rested. I lift my head sleepily and it takes a moment to realize where I am. Somehow overnight, I’ve managed to crawl on top of Liam. My whole body is laying on his. My head and chest laying on his chest. The thing I feel pressing against my stomach… I jolt, trying to scramble off of him. Holy crap! I know what’s pressing against me and it feels entirely too big!
In my effort to move quickly, I must have woken Liam because he rolls us over, effectively trapping me between him and the mattress. He is kissing my neck and, oh my goddess, does it feel good. His warm lips are gentle but firm, his tongue licking my skin, making my body respond in a way I’m unfamiliar with, making Alessia purr in my head.
“Ummm, Liam?”
“Mmmm, yes baby? Are you ready for another round?”
“LIAM!” It comes out louder than I planned, but I need him to focus.
His head jerks up and he looks at me. It takes a moment for recognition to set in and when it does he pushes off of me. “Shit! Angel, I’m sorry. I was half asleep and…”
“It’s okay.” I feel like I’m about to die of embarrassment. He sits up and runs his fingers through his hair. It’s curly and his hands do nothing to tame the wildness. It suits him, gives him an almost dangerous sexiness.
He turns his head to look at me. “Are you okay, I didn’t hurt you, did I?”
“No. I’m okay.”
He nods his head then stands. I don’t think he realizes that he’s completely naked. And oh my, I didn’t see the front, but if his backside is any indication, this man is walking perfection. My fingers twitch, wanting to reach out and touch him.
He turns and sees me staring at him. His look changes and he smirks down at me. “See something you like little angel?”
Yep, sure do, lots and lots that I like. “I’m just going to go get a shower.” I say instead.
“Good idea. I had planned to take you shopping today but since we’re going to the Canyon Ridge Pack for dinner, I don’t want you to overdo it, so I think we’ll stay around here. I can show you around the pack lands instead.”
“Okay.” I’m looking anywhere but at him. He has every right to be proud of his body, it is gorgeous. But I don’t know where to look and when I do, I end up staring, so I’m just trying not to look at him.
As I stand, he comes around the bed. He stops in front of me and kisses the top of my head. Okay, it was super easy to glance down and not get caught, except the minute I do, I see exactly what was pressing into my stomach. And I was right, it’s HUGE!
I’m sure my eyes are as wide as saucers as I look back up at him. And, yep, he knew I was looking because the smirk is back. “I’ll meet you back in here in 20 minutes and I’ll have food brought up.” He raises an eyebrow at me as I stand there still stunned. “Unless you need my help?” He offers. A little yip escapes my mouth as I rush to get to the bathroom alone. I hear him chuckling as he leaves the room.
My sweet little mate is o top of me, riding me like a fallen angel. I love the devilish look on her face as she sets her own pace, forcing me to take what she’s giving me. Her scent envelops me and I’ve never felt such ecstasy in my life. My mate, my everything, is here, giving herself to me.
I moan as she rolls off me, rolling over on top of her, burying, my face in her neck as I kiss her, lick her. I can’t get enough of her sweetness, a sweetness that I’ve never had in my life and I never want to let go of..
“Ummm, Liam?” Oh, the sound of my name coming from those sweet lips. I’m so hard I may burst before I can slide back inside her.
“Mmmm, yes baby? Are you ready for another round?” I’m definitely ready for another round.
“LIAM!”
It’s the urgency, mixed with a bit of fear that has me pulling out of my half dream state. I whip my head up and reality comes crashing down around me. I’ve got my mate pinned down on the bed, her eyes are wide in surprise and just a bit of lust.
I practically fly off her. Holy shit! Did I do something in my sleep? Did I hurt her. Oh goddess, did I force something on her without realizing?
